Advice on having a baby!



I have been given lots of advice about the pregnancy and thereafter..here are some.

1) I have heard several times being a mother is difficult. However, until you experience it you will not know the difficulty.

2)That breastfeeding is HARD. No matter how many classes you take they really do not prepare you for what is to come. Not only that but you may have low milk supply and a very hungry baby, so you have to the what is best for your baby! and then people will make you feel guilty about it :)

3) That you're going to fight with your spouse more than you ever have and its not because you love each other any less, its because being new parents is also HARD and takes a great deal of adjustment. With that said, steal away private moments together whenever possible!

4)That everyone and their mother will think they know everything about being a mother. However, you are the only one that knows best what is BEST for your child!

5) The best advice I was given from a friend when I told her I was pregnant was don't take anyone's advice. I took that one :)

You are caring for a whole other person who doesn't know how to do anything, damn right it's going to be hard! And so far, you're the best mommy! Lori is very lucky to have you and Vicken!
